A Poem by Cody Bennett

Can’t Find

The courage to leap

the brink, free-fall

beyond the precipice,

hurtle toward

the abyss,

end the pain. Mine.

Mom’s. Oh, she’d feel

the initial sting, cry

for a day or two, but it

would be

short-lived, a quick

stab of grief. Finite.

A satin-lined coffin

and cool, deep hole are

preferable to

walking a treadmill

over a carpet of coals,

enduring the blistering,

skin-cracking flames of

this living hell.
